I just received this new project today. A 1977 Ford F150 Explorer XLT, with a 351M engine, Edelbrock intake manifold and Holley performer 4BBL. Complete with header pipes and an unknown automatic transmission. It came to me to fix a slight skip/miss, fix some wiring issues on the new electric dash, and go through it to make sure it can safely and reliability drive coast to coast without issue, per customer request. These old vehicles are easy to come by, and generally cheap to work on when you know how and where to source parts.This gas crunch will pass, and contrary to what "THEY" want you to believe, there are old vehicles that get 20, 30, even 40 MPG. This truck might not be able to get that kinda milage, but it is also proof of something else I have said and believe. It was in a head on wreck at some point. it didn't drive away unscathed but it drove away, which can't be said about "new" vehicles....
